Typically, when I think of gnocchi, I imagine it prepared in a traditional “pasta type” recipe. I really like it with a spicy tomato cream sauce, or even with a brown butter sauce. Considering that gnocchi is made of potatoes, I decided to try something different and make this Loaded Gnocchi Skillet. I love to top my potatoes with cheese, bacon and green onion, so I thought the same set-up might just work for gnocchi, and it sure did!
There really isn’t much better on a busy winter night than coming home to a hot and comforting meal all ready to go in the slow cooker. Just knowing that there is one less thing to take care of after a stressful day is an amazing thing! This Slow Cooker Chicken and Gnocchi Soup is one of those creamy, hearty soups that is perfect for cooler weather. This soup has shredded chicken, fresh veggies, gnocchi (potato dumplings), a little bacon and a delicious creamy broth. This is great when served with warm biscuits and enjoyed with those you love!
This Gnocchi with Bacon & Peas is one of those recipes that looks and tastes like something that took a while to prepare, but in reality it only took about 20 minutes. This is a great dish to prepare for dinner guests (double the recipe!), or just for a quick weeknight meal. This easy meal is loaded with peas, bacon, gnocchi and a fantastic creamy sauce. Serve this with a fresh salad or all on it’s own and enjoy!
Pasta is my thing. If I could pick one type of food to have for the rest of my life (without the calories), it would most definitely be pasta. If you don’t know, gnocchi is a type of pasta made from potatoes. It is almost like a little potato dumpling. Gnocchi is light and fluffy and just plain delicious. This sauce is something that I came up with one day just based on what I had to work with. The Gnocchi with Spicy Tomato Cream Sauce recipe has evolved with each time that I have made the dish. I have simplified it considerably and it is so delicious and easy that it keeps showing up in our weekly dinner rotation.
